Hanson sets new career-high, Blach shines as Giants clinch fifth straight series

ATLANTA–During the first two weeks of the regular season, the Giants’ at-bats with runners in scoring position appeared as challenging as crushing a moving piñata with a blindflold on.

That blindfold has been now ripped off and that piñata has been smashed into pieces. The Giants left no doubt with a 11-2 win over the Braves Saturday, as they’re celebrating their fifth straight series victory and reaping the rewards of hitting the target over and over again.

For the first time since May 15-17, 2015, the Giants pushed across at least nine runs in three straight games as they scored in four straight innings to open up a 10-2 lead by the bottom of the fifth.
